Blood Princess and the Knight

As the last trace of afterglow faded away, the day completely came to an end, and the impending darkness enveloped the dead city again. "Zero Paint Chinese"

The Scarlet Blood Territory is now one of the most prosperous and powerful countries in the mainland, but as far as the grassroots people are concerned, their lifestyle is no different from that of other racial countries.

Except for some entertainment projects exclusive to aristocrats, powerful people and wealthy people, most grassroots people with low literacy rate and low education level go to bed after dinner. Families who will never be well-off have no spare money to buy entertainment equipment. Secondly, it saves fuel. Save electricity.

The same is true for all blood clan leaders, let alone Yuanyue City, a relatively remote area.

The White Thorn Family, one of the Thirteen Nobles of the Blood Clan, was formerly a wealthy family with only a slightly famous name. It is considered a noble family of the Blood Clan with a relatively short family history. It ranks at the bottom of the Thirteen Families and is not a very conspicuous family.

It is said that her ancestors once married into the royal family, but this was many years ago. The royal bloodline has been declining, and today there is not much left, but this honor still exists today.

Fame and birth are particularly important to the White Thorn family, which was born from scratch, but neither of these can be bought with money.

Therefore, they were very happy that they made a fortune during the war, and selflessly donated a large amount of money to the royal family who was too poor to take the blame. This gave them the opportunity to marry into the royal family and join the Thirteen Families.

Although they are a power-seeking faction, the White Thorn family, who are well versed in the way of protecting themselves, have always been cautious in their words and deeds, pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Some people describe them as acting like squirrels who are afraid of their hands and feet, unless they are asked to do so. Take a stand and be as vague and ambiguous as possible in all comments you make

It is not without reason that they are called old fritters. Even today, when the royal family is declining, they have left a lot of escape paths for themselves.

But now, the head of the White Thorn family - contrary to his usual leisurely routine - is sitting in the study with his brows furrowed, looking at the wick of the oil lamp with a dull expression.

He did not turn on the light, but just lit an inconspicuous oil lamp. He seemed to be escaping from something, and his brows were tightly squeezed together, as if he was engaged in an ideological struggle.

The night gradually deepened, and my drooped eyes suddenly opened, and I was already mentally prepared and aware.

The hand holding the quill trembled slightly and then was tightly grasped, and he wrote quickly on the white paper.

After putting the letter paper into the envelope and applying ink pad, I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The head of the house pushed open the door, looked around, carefully called a servant whom he usually trusted, and carefully handed the envelope to his hand.

"Give this letter to Your Majesty Lilias, take my family crest, and send it over overnight. Remember, this is just an insignificant letter of greetings. Don't be too nervous. Someone asked you who this letter is for. , I just replied that it was for an old friend of mine, do you understand?"

After giving many instructions and watching the servants leave the mansion, he breathed a sigh of relief. His bones seemed to be falling apart. He sat down on the wooden chair and looked at the erratic flames. The sound of his heart beating loudly overshadowed the birdsong outside the window.

He had no time to take care of himself, but he still had the thought to do such a thing, and he was caught. However, he will be secretly executed as a traitor. Then, let alone himself, the centuries-old foundation of the White Thorn family may be destroyed in his own hands.

But no matter which race you belong to, there is always a bottom line in your heart that cannot be touched, even if you pay the price of your life.

"Dudu and others heard footsteps in the peaceful courtyard, coming from far to near, coming this way. 38 Kanshu Novel Network

The head of the family, who had a guilty conscience, was feeling frightened. The approaching footsteps undoubtedly stimulated his extremely sensitive meridian.

The sound of the door hinge turning and the person coming outside the door made the owner of the house numb. Even though his heart was in turmoil, he remained calm and calm, and his eyes slowly moved away from the flames.

"I didn't know that Mira's niece is coming here, but I missed her from afar. Please atone for my sins."

"Uncle Bai Jingjie, you don't have to be polite. You are a senior. You are just a junior who has just taken charge of the family. Your experience is still insufficient. You still need more guidance from your seniors." Outside the door, a girl in gorgeous clothes said politely with a smile. , said that he walked into the room unceremoniously and landed on the main seat of the room.

"What is the meaning of niece Mi's coming to the humble house? Haha, are you here to find my daughter? She should not be in the mansion now, so I will send someone to bring her back. I, an old man, don't care about the topic of you young people~ Go in and say goodbye first.

"Uncle Bai Jingji, you're welcome. It doesn't have to be like this. Mira's purpose of coming here today is not to find Hua Lan. Mi Xi opened her lips slightly and raised her long legs wrapped in stockings slightly. "I'm here to see you, Uncle Bai Jingji. Discuss some important matters.

"You're welcome, niece. What can we discuss with an old man like me? The White Thorn family's rules and stance have always been very firm." The head of the family said with a smile.

"Hmm, I also believe that Uncle Bai Jingjie is on the same boat as us." Mi Li's smile seemed to mean something else. "Uncle Bai Jingjia, Mi Jian just saw-

A servant rushed out of the door in a panic, clutching a letter in his hand, and seemed to be running out of the city. Who are you planning to write to?"

"Oh, you are talking about this. Hey, niece, you also know that our White Thorn family is not from Yuanyue City, right? There are still some branches and vines in the place where our family originated (no, I am an old friend) It’s my birthday and I can’t go due to business reasons.

, I sent someone to send a congratulatory message to express my sincere gratitude. "The head of the White Thorn family looks kind and approachable, like a kind elder.

"It turned out to be a congratulatory message. I am thinking about my relatives and friends. This is understandable." Mi Liruo

He nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for many years. It's his birthday and I have nothing to express. I can't be there in person, so I sent a congratulatory letter to him.

"Do I need to bring my own coat of arms with my congratulatory letter?" Mi Xiupi said with a smile.

"Heraldry? No, I didn't ask that servant to wear my own coat of arms at all. What is Miss Mira talking about?"

"Dong dong!" Two guards rushed in, escorting a man dressed as a servant.

The head of the White Thorn family recognized it. It was the uniform of a sergeant from the Principality of Sethis.

"Uncle Bai Jingji, this servant is so bold that he stole your coat of arms." Mi Xi narrowed her eyes and looked at the Bai Jingji family master whose face became stiffer. "You want to find another place to live."

She placed the coat of arms heavily on the table.

"Niece, you brought your own soldiers to someone else's home and detained someone else's slave. This is very rude." Bai Jingjia's face darkened.

"It turns out that I didn't do anything unnecessary, didn't it?" Mira stood up and looked at the head of the White Thorn family with interest. “Right time, right place, just caught the current situation, I am very lucky.

"Master of the White Thorn Family, aren't you going to explain?"

"Explanation? Explanation for what?" After the matter was revealed, the head of the White Thorn family lost his worries and stood up indifferently. "We are all clinging to one side under the leadership of Rassambo, so how can we choose the right tree to live in?"

"So, Uncle Bai Jingjie is convinced that he wants to switch sides?" Mi Li bared his fangs. "You are worthy of being a commoner of lowly origin who eats the inside and outside of things. He bites back after benefiting from it - the master of the mouth, haha

"Haha, at that time you had to submit to us in order to save your family, but now you are willing to risk your family and your life to rebel. Do you want to pretend to be aloof? Do you think Rasambo will be grateful to you for this? ? Stop dreaming, you are the same as us. people.

"No, it's different. I'm different from you." The head of the White Thorn family shook his head. "At that time, I just had no choice but to change my position, but you, you want to change the sky above your head!"

"Perhaps I don't deserve to talk about glory, but I can't do such a bastard thing as succumbing to a foreign race and annihilating my own royal family, which will last forever!" said the head of the White Thorn Family - Patting the Table Case. ‘Somebody come!’

"What?" Mi Jian tilted her head. "Is Uncle Bai Jingji planning to kill someone and silence him? He is so heartless."

"I'm sorry, I can only make you suffer here for a few days, niece Mi Li. As long as you are obedient, I guarantee your life safety.

"Guarantee my life safety? Pufuha, you are really bragging." Mira couldn't help but laugh. "You are really loyal to the royal family, but you just don't know if your subordinates are equally loyal to you? 039

"What do you mean?" There has been no movement so far, and the head of the White Jingji family can't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Come here! Where are the soldiers outside the door? Didn't you hear?"

"Uncle Bai Jingji, don't bother. Don't you know that you are no longer the head of the Bai Jingji family?" Mi Shu said lightly, heading towards the door. "come in.'

"What, what? ?" The head of the Bai Jingji family opened his eyes wide and understood the whole story in an instant. He pointed at the figure at the door and cursed. "You rebellious son! How dare you sue?"

"Father, you are so old and confused. If you continue to control the family affairs, you may be ruining the family one day." The young man wearing a decent attire for the head of the family said with a smile.

"You! How dare you join forces with outsiders to usurp the family head? Do you know what they are doing?

"Father, your thoughts are too outdated. The family has been stagnant for many years. Why don't you have some ideas in your mind?" The young man said every word.

"It's just a change of court. The country is still this country, and the vampire clan is still the same vampire clan. Everyone lives the same life, so how can we attract foreign soldiers to join us?" The young man held his head high. "If we want to cling, it's because foreigners cling to us to seek the protection of the vampires. We all just get what we need.

"Okay, Father, you have nothing to do with me here. If you know anything about it, just take a good look at how I revive the White Thorn family!

Two heavily armed soldiers walked in outside the gate, wearing swords and swords and looking at the family owner meaningfully.

Although the turtle lives a long life, it still has its moments of competition.

Gongxiang Deyang, who had supported the court for nearly three years, understood that his time was running out.

The royalist faction was weak, and the overall situation was controlled by him, the prime minister who controlled the government, so nothing extraordinary happened.

Without him, with only the support of the Melvi, Leforno, and Violet families, Queen Lilias would be afraid that all her children would run away.

Among the thirteen families, only three have unconditionally and fully supported the royal family, and most of the others are power grabbers. You will know how unfavorable the situation is when you see it.

The term of office of the Prime Minister is forty years. When the time is up, he must step down and choose a new Prime Minister.

These are rules and regulations that cannot be changed.

Husband Xiang Delan sighed, I am afraid that in the future, there will really be a bloody struggle for power in the Scarlet Empire, and the royal family is likely to become a mascot doll that cannot speak.

Fortunately, at most, he is involuntarily, his life is at stake, and the little brats of the power seizing faction are not bold enough to attack the royal family.

Deran thinks so.

Thinking of these troubles, he couldn't help but think of what Lilias said to him.

"I hope that Her Majesty the Queen will be wise and make the right choice."

"

Your Excellency, it’s time to go to court.

"Of course I know." With the help of the servant, Delan arranged her appearance, put on the coat that symbolized the prince and prime minister, and brushed every button on it with some nostalgia.

"Your Majesty the Queen, from now on, I can only rely on you.

Today is the day when the term of the Prime Minister has expired. 2keac Delan moved slowly into the hall, as if he was struggling, and entered the main hall. It seemed that everyone had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Prince Teresa, you are late.'

Delan frowned, seeing all these boring faces so early in the morning, he was not in a good mood.

"Some things have temporarily delayed me. Why, I'm about to resign. I can't let me come back at will? ?" Delan winked and glared.

"No, no, I'm just saying that the impact of this is not very good. Isn't it still undecided whether to step down or not?"

"Haha, yes." Delan was noncommittal, snorted coldly and walked away from the minister.

Just kidding, after having been suppressed for forty years, I finally waited until I stepped down. The power-seeking faction with their sweet talk and duplicity would hand over the position of Prime Minister to others... I didn't even believe it until I woke up.

"See Her Majesty the Queen.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be polite." Lilias seemed to maintain that warm smile to everyone. “Come in line.

"Well, without further ado, I think you all can't wait any longer." Lilias sat high on the throne and glanced at the ministers below. "Today is the day when the Prime Minister's term expires. Likewise, it is also the day when the Prime Minister steps down and chooses a new Prime Minister. Let me tell you who the Prime Minister is in your heart.

"Your Majesty, I believe that cultivating the next generation of young people is the way to govern the country. We old people cannot be allowed to control the government all the time, so I have recruited a die-hard loyalist to the power-seeking faction.

Lilias almost guessed what he was going to say next, but she didn't guess the ending.

"The eldest son of the Leforno family is young and promising, and he is handsome. He is a role model for the younger generation of the Scarlet Empire. I think he should be given a chance.

Immediately, all the officials and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded.

Didn’t you obey? ? Two incompatible factions? The power-seeking faction actually wanted to appoint a member of the royalist family as the prime minister?! What kind of cāo is this?
